Man and Van London | £65/Hour, Two-Hour Minimum

Arc Movers van parked for a man and van London booking in Islington

£65 an Hour, With the Lifting Included

Man and van is the right call when you have less than a vanload and you want it done this week. The rate is £65 an hour with a two-hour minimum, and it covers the Luton van, the fuel, the congestion charge and a mover who loads and unloads with you rather than watching you do it.

The clock starts when we arrive at your pickup address and stops when the last item is inside at the other end. It does not run while we drive to you, and it does not run while we look for parking. Blankets and straps are in the van as standard, so your furniture is protected even on a one-hour job.

If you are moving one thing — a sofa, a fridge, a bed, a piano-shaped problem — ask for a single-item transfer instead. That is quoted as a fixed fee, so the two-hour minimum does not apply and you pay for the job rather than the clock.

Two-hour minimum, then charged hourly. Moving a single item? Ask for a single-item transfer — a fixed fee with no minimum.

Access, parking and packing: stairs are not charged automatically but may be charged subject to other factors — flights, carry distance, item weight and whether a lift is working — and anything that could move the price is raised with you before we start. Parking is the responsibility of the client at every address, including permits, suspensions and any tickets or PCNs. Your goods are insured in our vans where we have not advised that an item needs packing; where an expensive, fragile or sentimental item is presented for bare transport we will offer to pack it for a small extra cost. The final decision is yours, and if you decline our expert advice we’d require a written confirmation by text and the item travels uninsured. Full detail is in our Terms of Service.

Small Jobs, London Problems

Most man and van jobs in London are not about distance. They are about a first-floor flat with no lift, a marketplace pickup where the seller is only in for an hour, or a bulky delivery that the courier left on the pavement. Tell us the floor, the lift and the parking when you book and we will bring the right kit.

We cover all 32 boroughs and take work at short notice when the diary allows, including evenings and weekends at the same £65 rate. If you are a student, say so — there is a discount on man and van, single-room and single-item bookings with a valid student ID.

Man and Van — Your Questions

Still unsure? Call 07867997955 and ask us directly.

The van, the fuel, the congestion charge, the blankets and straps, and a mover who does the lifting. There is no mileage charge within London. Stairs are not surcharged, though they take time and the clock is running, and if access looks likely to add significantly to the job we will say so before we start. The two-hour minimum applies, then it is billed by the hour.

When we arrive at your pickup address, and it stops when the last item is in place at the destination. Travel time to reach you is not billed, and neither is time spent finding parking — though arranging a legal space at both addresses is the client's responsibility, and any tickets or PCNs remain yours to settle.

Ask for a single-item transfer. It is quoted as a fixed fee rather than hourly, so the two-hour minimum does not apply. That is usually cheaper for a sofa, a fridge, a mattress or a single piece of furniture.

Yes. One mover suits boxes and light furniture; two is sensible for wardrobes, sofa beds, American fridges or anything going up a narrow staircase. Tell us what is moving and we will advise honestly rather than upsell.

Yes, on man and van, single-room and single-item bookings with a valid student ID. Mention it when you request a quote and it is applied before you book.
